First time using site. We purchased our Prius on 9/25/06.We live in the Doylestown area that is Wayne County.Have not seen many Prius around here. Would like to chat about the winter driving.(Hasn't been much yet).Had one episode with sliding in the snow.Let me know of any experiences to look out for. I love the car
[/b]

I've been eagerly waiting for winter weather to arrive so that I can test out the Prius in the snow. We got the one big storm in December but that only last a couple of days before it all melted off. I didn't have any trouble with it but around here the cities do a pretty good job of putting down lots of salt and other preparations for snowstorms.

I'm in Tremont (near downtown Cleveland) and just got my '07. I actually see 3 or 4 '07s a day downtown, so I know there are a lot of us in Cleveland. Anyway, sign me up!

Nothing against finding out how Prius's do in the city during the winter, but I drive 30 minutes one way to work, and need something that gets around good in the snow. Are there any people here who live out in the country to let us know how Prius's do in the winter. I have a Pontiac Vibe and it does not do good in the snow, matter-of-fact it does crappy.

Hi everyone,

I got my Prius in March '05. Have you all noticed a huge reduction in MPG since the weather started to get cold? Is it the temperature or the winter fuel formulation?

Fuel consumption decrease in the winter until the car warms up, its like most cars needs more raw fuel to run when cold, thats why its important to make your short trips a one trip not multiples.

Like those side turn signal lights on mirrors, did you install as a after market product or was it available in CA.
I don't think its available in OH

I live in Lorain and purchased a Prius in June of 06 and have 18k on it. Its great on mileage on highway can average 50+ but am disapointed on town driving. The 60 mpg that Prius quotes I understand is high but I get closer to 48 around town.

Does anybody no if installing a ev will delete warranty on car? Seems like it would, but there is a great video on installing and would definately improve your around town driving.

Vince what is auto fold module? Where did you order them from?

[kentano]

Hello fellow NE Ohio Prius Owners! I am in Rocky River, right by Cleveland. I'd love to hear about any kind of gatherings there may be in the Cleveland area.

Also, if any of you have been reading the forums about Engine Block Heaters and FireEngineer (Wayne) traveling the U.S. to install them for people.....I just ordered one and received it yesterday! If we could get a group of Clevelanders together who need help installing EBH's, I bet Wayne would come here and do it for us! :P
